NovelEnglishChapter 204 She Left
Dr. Ginger had a pair of sharp eyes. When he saw Brendan’s hands on the steering wheel and noticed
that his sleeves were covered in blood, the doctor’s instinct propelled him to rush toward Brendan. He
gasped when he saw bruises and bloody marks on his arms.
“Did you smash something against your arms? Why are they full of bruises? D–Do you not want your
hands anymore?”
In the past, Dr. Ginger wouldn’t have had the courage to speak in this manner. But now that he was so
furious and anxious, he ordered, “Go sit in the back. I’ll drive to the hospital. I don’t have any testing
equipment here, so I can’t ensure that your bones will stay intact!”
“NO-”
“Just listen to Dr. Ginger,” Deirdre abruptly chimed in. Her eyes were slack, but she gradually tightened
her fists in her sleeves. She couldn’t understand why Brendan had changed so much that he was
unlike his normal self. Their priority, however, was to get Brendan to the hospital.

lot of things you can’t do. And your company needs you.”
Brendan paused. He wished to hear Deirdre say that she cared about him. “Just the company? What
about you?”
“What?” Deirdre only realized what Brendan was asking after a while. He was asking whether she
needed
him as well.
She was startled. To be exact, she was stiff and nervous. It was Dr. Ginger who broke the stalemate
first when he pointed out, “Mr. Brighthall, Miss McKinnon, can we put any love affairs aside until we get
to the hospital? Mr. Brighthall, we have to go to the hospital because your face is swelling up and
you’re having difficulty breathing!”
Brendan stopped delaying this any further. But when he went to take the back seat, he shook Deirdre’s
hand lightly.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Brendan had a blood transfusion. During the process, the hospital took an
x- ray of his arm. Fortunately, none of his bones were injured, but because his skin was severely
injured, he
still needed treatment.
Throughout the process, Deirdre was waiting at the door. Because she was blind, she could only hear
voices and couldn’t do anything to help.
Besides, she had hugged several dogs, so she might worsen Brendan’s condition by being closer.
“Miss McKinnon, there’s a seat here. Would you like to have a seat for now? I’ll take you in once Mr.
Brighthall’s wounds have been dressed properly.”
“No, thanks.” Deirdre took a step back and gave Dr. Ginger a forced smile. Then, she said, “C–Can you
please, uh, take me back?”
“Take you back?” Dr. Ginger took a glance at Brendan, who was still having his wounds dressed and
appeared to be rather hesitant.
By the time Brendan’s arm was bandaged, he was sweating excessively and feeling agonizing pain. He
hadn’t thought the wounds would be this severe at the beginning, let alone know why the pain became

He took a breath. When he recalled the way Deirdre had clenched her fists, trying to hold back her
nervous affection, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He thought it was time to appease her.
“Excuse me,” he told the nurse. “Have you seen the lady in the plain dress who was with me earlier?”
The nurse couldn’t recall, but maybe it was because she thought Brendan and Deirdre were dressed
too differently. When she was about to answer, the door opened.
“Brendan! Are you alright?” Charlene rushed in anxiously. “Why would you come here for a blood
transfusion? How’s your arm?”
She was so distressed that tears welled up in her eyes. Brendan’s expression froze. He withdrew his
hand little by little from hers as he asked, “Why are you here?”
Charlene looked up. “Didn’t you have Dr. Ginger call me over to take care of you?”
“I had Dr. Ginger call you?” Brendan’s expression froze. When he thought of a possibility, his heart
skipped a beat. With bloodshot eyes, he barked, “Where’s Deirdre?”
Charlene was stunned. “Deirdre? Is she in the hospital as well?”
When the nurse was about to leave, she said, “That lady left. She left a long time ago.”
Then, the nurse left, pushing the cart with her. Meanwhile, Brendan’s eyes gradually turned icy.
Even though he still felt pain in his arm, he clenched his fist tightly, his fingernails pressing against his
palm. She had left?
